Papa's Lullaby.

Papa's Lullaby.
- You're sonnd asleep at last,
iou restless little elf
Wee image of myself,
Old Morpheus holds you fast!
Rest, tiny tired feet
Rest, chubby, meddling hand,
You. my imp from Faifylandi
Repose in slumber sweet!
The livelong day, my boy,
Like bee among the flowers,
You've slipped from all the hours
LIES honey-childhood's Joy.
So peaceful is your brow,
Methinks the angels fan
Your ruddy face, my man,
As they watch DER You now.
And papa is at rest!
Hes found longed- for repose
say it-and it goes.-
Asleep like you best

The Coming Labor Convention.
The labor convention, which is to assemble in
Cincinnati next Tuesday, is called to discuss the
propr1ety OF organizing a new national political
party in the interest of workingmen. It Is now
expected that 500 delegates will be there though
there Is not yet positive assurance OF so many 1t
has been developed in some places that members
OF trades unions are averse to joining this move
and II this shall prove to be generally true, the
number OF delegates will be less than fifteen nun
dred. There is growing wariness on the part Of
Cincinnati delegates about committing them
selves to the support Of any leader or faction.
This Is shown by the fact that though Henry
George Is advertised to lecture there on Monday
night next, theFd1savow any agency IN the mat
ter and say he d brought there by the Henry
George club. 1t Is not expected that the cOnven-
ton will do more than adopt = platform.

THE WONDERFUL APPETITE OF AN INDIANA BOY.
A special to the Indianapolis Journal from
Martinsville says: "Henry Flowers, 14-year-old
boy OF Jefferson township, this county, is one OF
the most peculiar specimens Of humanity that
has ever come to light in this section. Hecame to
town last Saturday, as is his usual custom, and
was taken to the Mansion house OF this city bytwo
prominent citizens, who bargatned with the land
lord to furnish the boy square meal for So cents
they wishing to satisfy their curiosity as to his
wait until their fondest hope OF getting the joke
upon the landlord was realized. He ate six pieces
OF light bread two pieces OF corn bread two
large slices OF beef, roasted with gravy; two
large slices OF roasted pork, four large DO
tatOes, one dish OF beans, one dish OF siaw, two
dishes of hOminy, one dish OF parSnipS.
and two pieces OF pie. After eating hts pie he
called for bowl OF oysters and was Informed that
they were not on the bill-Of-fare for that day. He
then went to DR.. BlackstoneS to eat again, and
his meal there consisted OF seven potatoes three
slices of roast beer two cups OF coffee one dish OF
tomatoes, one dish Of butter beans and two pieces
OF pie AS Is usual with him, his hunger was not
yet satisfied. He went from Dr. BlackStone'S to
one of the city bakeries there purchased ten
worth of cheese and crackers and ate them, and at
last accounts he was In his usual condition.
"The boy is very lean and less than the average
height for his age, being only about three feet
high and Weighing but forty pounds His skin is
and his eyes give an unmtstable proof OF his con-
slant hunger, which he evinceS on all occasions
Seldom, IL ever, does one encounter such an appe-
tite, and 1t Is wonder where he slows away SO
much food. No physician here can satisfactorily
diagnose his case.

THE HoosTER CITY PRRvKRRED By AL TIE LEAGUE
CLUBS EXCEPT CMcA6o-fHB DISPOSITION OF TEE
81. LOUIS AND KANSAS CIT PLAYERS-WHAT
wAsHINGToNs CHANCES ARE
To-day the National league is composed OF nine
clubs. After Monday the number VIII be reduced
to eight, for that day the league committee will
meet In Pittsburg to determine finally the compo-
stiOn OF the league for the coming season. No one
knows to certainty what the result Of that meet
ing will be, but it's considered probable that Ind-
annapolis win get the eighth place. and both Kan
sas City and st. Louis will be dropped There may
be something going on underneath the surface
which will prevent the realization OF such o pre-
dictton when the time comes for action. 1t is not
very difncult to see which way the cat Will jump,
however, unless something Of the kind should de-
velop. st. Louis is as good as out Of the league,
but the sale Of her franchise and players to Kan
sas City win have to be ratified by the league
committee before 1t can stand. There is not one
chance in hundred that this win be done The
league is represented by committee consisting Of
President Young, Spaud1ng, OF Chicago, and Day,
OF New York. Two OF these gentlemen have the
interests OF home clubs to look after as well as
eve for the good Of the whole league. spaidine
has unof1icialy expressed his individual approval
OF the transfer of the ST. Louis club to Kansas
City in accordance with the recent purchase. Day,
on the other hand is strongly in favor OF crowding
out Kansas City, together with st. Louis and adj
hitting Indianapolis as the eighth league
city. President Young win therefore hold
THE BALANCE OF POWER
in Mondays conference, and as he Is to represent
the wishes of the Cubs In the league, It is not
very difficult to foresee the result particularly as
all OF the other clubs have signied their prefer
ence for Indianapolis, and the majority Of them
have done so offcially. The principal objection
TO the retention OF Kansas City in the league is
its tnaccessibility, causing loss OF time and
money. The Cowboys have played strong cards
and have made gallant fight but It is as good as
settled that they will not take part In the league
games of 1887. Assuming that the league COM
mittee will give the eighth place to Indianapolis
the events that follow such a decision will be OF
unusual interest to the base ball public. 1t Is
natural to infer that Indianapolis will be per-
mtted to purchase the franchise OF one OF the out
going clubs, while the league committee will buy
the other In the name OF the league. The d1str1-
the league may be left, however, until the league
meeting In March.

IN BRIEF,--And to the point. Dys-
pepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver is
misery. Indigestion is foe to good
nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. 1t is easily put out
of order
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits. and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flowers has done
a wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American PEG
pie so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.
Remember:-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flowers
brings health and happiness to the dys-
peptic. Ask your druggists for bottle.
